BOSTON (AP) -Former All-Star pitcher Mark ``The Bird'' Fidrych has been found dead in an apparent accident at his farm in Northborough, Massachusetts. He was 54.
Worcester County district attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. says a family friend found Fidrych about 2:30 p.m. Monday beneath a pickup truck. He appeared to be working on the truck, Early said.
The colorful right-hander was the American League rookie of the year in 1976 when he went 19-9 with a 2.34 earned run average. He spent all five of his major league seasons with the Detroit Tigers, compiling a 29-19 record and a 3.10 ERA.
His career was cut short by injuries.

Wow man, this is crazy. I have gambled with Mark many times at the Detroit casinos.
Man what a way to go RIP :-[
I was gonna kill the guy who was working on my truck today and screwed it up,how strange.
For sure. So young too.
Whats wrong with your rig?
I got a oil change today and the nit wit stripped the post the oil filter screws onto,a 20 minute oil change turned into a 2.5 hour wait while I waited for them to get the part. 😡
That's weird. That's happened to me two separate times. Luckily these guys kept you from leaving. Both times I drove off and lost all my oil

Hell they couldn't even get a filter on since he screwed up the threads so bad.
